Just back from my half today, went really well, with no injuries in training, and the day went fairly well.

Was training to a 1.40 schedule, which I thought mat have been too much to improve on the previous pb of 1.50, which it turned out to be, but not by much. Went steadily on the 4.45 m/km for most of the race, but dropped off a little on the last few miles, but still came home in 1.42 odd, knocking 8minutes off my pb, and compared to the first hm I did, my legs are in a lot better shape, so am well please with my leg fitness.

Am now looking at another hm in the next few months to see if I could build on that and finally get under 1.40 (one of my aims for this year!)
